\u201cWe see people leaving the ten-city-in-two-week model behind. Instead, they want to get to know a place in depth, create routines and connect with local life,\u201d says Matas Cenys, product manager at Saily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kyoto at the top<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Saily has analyzed 50 cities around the world based on five criteria: safety, ease of settling, mobility, sense of community and range of experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    According to the study, there are also health benefits to traveling at a slower pace. Research from Australia shows that slow travel can reduce chronic stress, strengthen the immune system and contribute to better mental well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Four tips for a longer stay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Saily recommends that anyone planning a month-long trip:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • book long-term accommodation in good time,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • arrange mobile connection, for example via eSIM, before departure,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • identify local meeting places such as cafes and markets to quickly enter everyday life,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Share travel plans and accommodation details with relatives for increased security.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      The analysis is based on data from 50 international destinations and weighs factors such as safety, accommodation conditions, accessibility, community and local experiences to identify the most attractive cities for longer stays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
